System Testing

Ok,

On to real account number three. I have learned from the past, and am still learning, and would like to ask the forum here how do I go about testing strategies. At the end of the day, would I need to learn a programming language in metatrader to backtest my strategies as far as percentage wins, drawdowns, etc etc etc? Or is there a software out there that lets me manually enter in my parameters. I am not averse to learning a new computer language if it will help my bankroll, but right now I am looking for the simplest solution. Does VT trader offer anything in terms of backtesting?

Thanks for your help.

Take care,

The HUN.

How about this: pick a trending pair, follow it.

I didn't ask for a strategy, I have one. I asked if there was a way to backtest it to understand it better.

Hi, I'm bouncing the topic. I also look for the tool to educate myself. For that: did anyone use a software supported method for backtesting, e.g. playing with old data to test your chosen strategy? What kind of software did you use? What were pros and cons? Would you recommend this software to a good friend?

Best! Martin.
